How is your iPhone 5 battery life?

I get 2 days out the battery or a full day with heavy usage. I have found that exchange active sync accounts can cause battery drain in general, but also after an OS upgrade they can become corrupt. Trying deleting the account and setup again. I changed all but my work account to imap and I Happy.

All my screenshots are gone but you gotta think that even with the screen off there are a number of things that are allowed to run amuck in the background on Android devices. Once I went into data usage and restricted background data to wifi only my battery life sky rocketed. I could get at least 8 hrs on 1/2 of a battery.

And what about the iphone 5, what's your usage to get 3h and down at 77?
That's quite awesome !

yeah i heard that could damage the battery in some ways
I plug it a 10%.
is "usage" on iOS = "screen time" on android?

I would assume so. This is how usage is defined on Apple's site...

"Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. The phone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email."

so i would say that iphone 5 battery life is twice better than most of android according to the 8h of usage that people gets.

9h of usage this is quite awesome, with my galaxy note 2 i used to do like 8h screen time.
so do you think that i5 battery life is really better than the S3 you got?
ps: but did you really use your phone during these 9h?

Yes it's better. As far as the 9 hrs...I checked my timeline on twitter a bit, watched some YouTube videos, I was fairly active on Tapatalk and did some web browsing. Had a few phone calls but nothing too major. I'm sure the background stuff was a decent portion as well.

thanks for those answers, I had s3, note 2 etc... but I'm fed up with the battery life on android and I wanted to switch to iOS and it seems that the iphone 5 has a great battery life.

is it true that one hour of web browsing using wifi takes about 10% of battery?

Decide to try turning off wifi all day on my iPhone 5 (VZW)... LTE only... Inside building at work for about 10 of those hrs... with a decent but not great signal... Not too bad... This is running 6.1.3 beta 2
